Sorry I should have mentioned that tragically my stupid cat killed it. It's dead in the pic. I think it might be something I remember as being a Marin County ferret or something. It also looks a lot like this freaky weasel thing I saw on YouTube in England that chases down rabbits and eats them. Scary!

you can tell by looking at its face, that how frightened it is !!
